We just got owned:

Plan B will be in effect-

Do to weather effecting the Verdi area and the 7000 ft elevation of the stages, the decision to use stages in the Day 1 area has been made. Factors on ever changing requirements of Sierra County have also played into the decision, the storm made it final.

Weather today is high winds, rain, snow in higher elevations. Snow over night.
Friday expects snow flurries in the valley during the morning hours, clearing in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy to sunny over the weekend.

New stage format.

Day 1

1-Stonehouse
2-Nightengale
3-Purgatory Pass
Service
4-Limbo
5-Purgatory Pass 2

Nightengale Long will be ran as part of Sunday.

Day 2

1-Stonehouse
2-Nightengale
Refuel stop on transit
3-Nightengale Long
4-Stonehouse West

Time schedule to follow.
Looks like the Sunday stages closer to Reno are canned, and we'll be re-running Saturday's stages out north of Pyramid. If there's anyone that was coming out to spectate, I'd suggest that you make a weekend out of it, and come out to the Friday 8:30pm orientation meeting at the Hilton and get assigned to a stage! That way you'll have a ride out there, and be involved in the race. I don't think spectating is going to be very easy.

...although, IMO it's not really snowing right now, just raining... maybe they'll go back to plan A if/when they realize the road between BorderTown and BoomTown isn't under a foot of snow.
